A recent study found that ocean acidification is dissolving the shells of Dungeness crabs across the US Pacific Northwest. The study, published in Science of The Total Environment, analyzed Dungeness ...

Researchers have found evidence that a natural fruit extract is capable of dissolving calcium oxalate crystals, the most common component of human kidney stones. This finding could lead to the first ...

A University of Nebraska–Lincoln research team has identified new microscopic players in the global carbon cycle, a discovery that paints a clearer picture of carbon flow through the environment and ...

Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy by chemical processes. In Chapter 5, students learned how the process of dissolving ...

Sea cucumbers secrete acidic compounds that may be weakening the structure of the coral communities in which they live. The main component of a coral reef is calcium carbonate (CaCO3), a mineral that ...

It seems humanity isn’t just content to screw up the surface of the planet. We’re gonna do the deep ocean, too. Findings published this week show that all the carbon dioxide piling up in the ocean’s ...

Researchers have found that organic vapor can dissolve molecular salts in a phenomenon known as organic deliquescence. Similar to how water vapor can induce deliquescence of compounds like calcium ...
